Hello
I am hoping to trace Joseph Saunders, he was noted as being from Pithara 1926, when his sister Clara visited him in Perth hospital. Can anyone with WA knowledge check the elec rolls please.
Thanks Del

What exactly are you searching for? Do you have any other info that can help the search?

Australian Electoral Roll 1925.
Saunders, Joseph. Bandee, labourer. Division of Swan, subdivision of Northam.
Saunders, Joseph. c/o F.G Brown, Arthur River, labourer. Forrest, Williams.
Saunders, Joseph. Norman's Lake, Dam sinker. Forrest, Williams.
Saunders, Joseph Charles. 132 Royal St, East Perth. Warehouse employee. Perth.
Saunders, William Burton Joseph. Graphite road, Manjimup. Forrest, Nelson.
Pithara is about 280 km north of Bandee and both towns are in the wheatbelt.
As Christine mentioned, without any other family information it's a bit hard to work out which might be your man, if any!
Regards,
John

The basic background has been put online here by a reli [I have a ton more] http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~barbarahollis/saunders_family.htm
Any help appreciated ;)
